LOUIS G. FERRAIOLI, OF NEV YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO IVILLIAM A. CAMERON, OF SAME PLACE.

CAKE AND CONFECTIONERY MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters PatentNo. 467,003, dated January 12,1892.

Application led May 21. 1891. Serial No, 393.589. (No model.)

T o all whom may concern.'

Be it known that I, LoUIs G. FEEEAIOLI, a subject of the King of Italy, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cake and Confectionery Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in cake and confectionery machines; and the invention consists in the details of construction set forth in the following specification and claims and illustrated in the annexed drawings, in whichd Figure l is a sectional side elevation of a machine containing my invention. Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. l with parts in a different position than in Fig. 1. Fig. 3is a section along 0c Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a section along y y, Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a detail side view of' a pan. Fig. 6 is a detail view of spring arms or pressers. Fig. 7 is another detail side view of a pan with a modified form of paper-holder.

This invention is shown applied to a cake or confectionery machine of the kind illustrated in United States Letters Patent No. 291,381, of January l, 1884; but of course I do not limit myself to this precise machine in using my invention.

In the drawings, the letter A indicates a frame or support, and B is a driving-shaft. The swinging table C is mounted on shaft C', having a ratchet D, operated by the pawl E on arm E, which receives motion from rod E so that a step-by-step motion is given to the chain or conveyer J, extending over pulleys J J. The cam F acts on roller F, so as to rock or swing the table C. The link V actuates the arm V', pawl W, and ratchet X, so as to turn the bevel-gears b b and cause the screws M to force the piston N into the dough or material box P and eject a proper supply of material through the nozzles R onto the pan A. The stops c prevent the pan being forced into contact with the nozzles. These parts being of well-known operation need no detailed description here.

In baking or manufacturing delicate confectionery it is necessary that the dough or material, instead of being-dropped directly onto pan A, be dropped onto a sheet of pa- 5o per B. Difficulty, however, Was experienced from the fact that'the paper would be lifted or somewhat raised vfrom the pan on the descent of the table C, thus tending to spoil the regularity of the Work. To'overcome this dif- 5 flculty I provide spring-pressers C, which press upon the paper B to keep the latter continually fiat on the pan.

The spring-pressers 0are readily' made from strips of suitable springy material-such 6o as metal, whalebone, or the like-secured to a suitable base or board D. The base or board D is clamped or secured to the dou gh-box I), and the pressers C extend under the box between the nozzles R, so as to hold the paper B flat to the pan. As the pressers O are elastic, they readily yield as the pan rises and falls Without relinquishing their pressure on the paper.

The base D is readily secured in place by 7o clamps or hooks F, which catch the edges of the base D and the projecting lips or flanges G of the dough-box. By removing the clamps the base or board D, with its pressers C", can be taken off when not required-as, for 7 5 example, in baking coarser goods.

To keep the front edge of the paper firmly in place, I provide the pan with a paper holder or clamp, Fig. 5. `The paper holder or clamp shown in the drawings consists of a rod L, 8o secured to arms I pivoted or jointed at K to each side of the pan A. By lapping or folding the edge of the paper B under the pan and swinging the rod L against the bottomV of the pan the edge of the paper is held or clamped against displacement. In place of a paper holder or clamp composed of a rod L to hold the edge vof the paper, any other suitable fastening-as, for example, a springclamp L, Fig. 7-can be employed. 9o
